An Unforgettable Euro with Your Dog

An Unforgettable Euro with Your Dog

Written by Kirsten | 3 September 2024

The European Football Championship is an exciting time for all football enthusiasts! What could be more fun than sharing this experience with your pet? Whether you're cheering for your favorite team or just enjoying the atmosphere, here are some tips to celebrate the Euros with your dog and make it an unforgettable experience.

Play a Game of Football

Head outside with your dog for a game of football. Use a soft ball so your dog can play with it and try some fun tricks together. Playing together strengthens the bond between you and your dog, promotes trust and communication, and prevents boredom. It’s a great way to stay active and have fun during the Euros.

Find the Ball

Hide a small football, like the Chuckit! Ultra Ball, in the garden and let your dog find it. Give him clues and encourage him as he finds the ball. This activity stimulates your dog’s natural hunting instincts and provides mental stimulation. Reward him with a tasty snack after finding the ball. This makes the activity not only fun but also tasty for your dog!

Ball Game

Teach your dog to push the ball with his nose or paws by gently rolling the ball towards him and encouraging him to push it back. Set up two objects as goal posts and encourage your dog to push the ball between these posts. A variation of fetch can also be fun, where you roll the ball over a short distance and your dog pushes it back to you.

Extra Tips for Fun and Safety

Make sure the play area is safe and free from obstacles
Use toys that are suitable for the size of your dog
Always have fresh water on hand to prevent dehydration
Watch for signs of fatigue and give your dog regular breaks
